Role Purpose LSEG’s analytics portfolio spans fixed income and equities, including Yield Book and Adfin analytics. Our customers’ needs are evolving and so are financial markets.

It provides the models, data and cashflow engines that clients use to measure value and risk on individual securities and to perform portfolio analysis and risk management against benchmarks. Coverage includes millions of natively modelled securities across governments, agencies, corporates, high yield, emerging markets, mortgages, ABS, CMBS, CMOs, CLOs and derivatives, supported by market-leading prepayment, term structure, default and loss severity models. Yield Book is delivered through multiple channels, including Yield Book Classic (web-based application), the Yield Book Add-In for Excel, the Yield Book Calculator, and the Yield Book REST API, which gives clients direct access to Yield Book’s analytics engine from within their own applications, workflows and trading, risk and compliance systems.
